Downy Rattlesnake Plantain Linocut Print — Goodyera pubescens

This linocut print captures the elegant geometry of Goodyera pubescens, commonly known as downy rattlesnake plantain—a striking woodland orchid recognized by its netted, silver-veined leaves.
Its bold patterning and understated beauty make it a wonderful fit for minimalist decor, dark woodland aesthetics, or any space that celebrates botanical detail and natural symmetry.

Downy rattlesnake plantain is native to the forests of eastern North America, where it grows in shaded, mossy understories. Despite its name, it’s not a plantain at all but a hardy orchid, prized for its evergreen rosettes and mesmerizing leaf veining. In summer, it sends up a slender spike of small white flowers, adding to its quiet, intricate charm.

The Downy Rattlesnake Plantain design measures 3x3 inches, hand-carved and hand-printed on 5x5 inch paper.
Each print is pulled individually, producing subtle variations in texture and ink that make every piece one-of-a-kind. A perfect addition to plant lovers’ collections, small wall arrangements, or any home seeking a touch of forest mystery and botanical elegance.
